This list will grow as they keep making new accounts. They have been doing this for 2 months. I have been reporting them but they keep posting in the same subs in batches.

They post to video subs, open the link and your greeted with a still image/screenshot.
Most users have been saying it has tried to download something on their computer, their antivirus blocked it, some have had no warnings what so ever.
Mobile phone/browsers have been spammed with opening multiple tabs and loads of ads and attempts to download something. Some have also said it messed up their calendar.
They all seem to gain a lot of Karma by posting 'cute' cat/dog images in subs like awww or eyebleach type subs and then start spamming, there are probably a lot more still in the works gaining Karma.

I think all the accounts have now been banned, hopefully no more show up, but I'll keep an eye out on the subs they usually post in and hopefully none show up in the next few days/weeks, but most likely they will and I'll post again!

Message modsupport they probably wouldn't mind additional eyes if it's linking malicious virus

I don’t think you should ping them, but you should still link to their profiles as evidence (eg. https://www.reddit.com/user/ILikeTasks[1]). If you ping them, they would be warned, so they would delete their accounts and destroy evidence of them spamming
